You may remember rongo rongo's completion of this task, creating a formal dress from newspaper plastic bags: It seemed only fitting to make a match for it: a formal suit made from newspaper. Enjoy the picture barrage!
Doing this task reminded me of the Three Fates, the mythological sisters who spun, measured, and cut the thread of one's days---or at least, the spinning and measuring parts. The bead spinning (to string enough beads to represent our days) was fun in...
For Meredithian and Julian Muffinbot's first SF0 task, we left clues. We decided to leave a complete treasure hunt. We went to a local Mexican restaurant to hatch our plot. There are 3 of this restaurant on the same block. The photos show all 3...

Written by Myrna tha Minx: St. Louis was once the beer-brewing capital of America (it's still a major industry) for a very practical reason; the entire city is built upon a huge and complex system of natural caves. No other city on earth has as m...
00110 11000, 0x7D8 These are my calend'arts. They use binary to display a month and year--mostly, some use hex. The binary version is fairly simple to use, even if you don't know binary. I'm now going to talk about binary as if I was talking to some...

[UPDATE:] So the Mayor has for whatever reason deleted the second and third blog posts mentioned in this praxis, leaving only the positive-sounding first one. But the story will be preserved here for posterity! Recently we decorated five fire hydran...
I don't know a lot about graphs, especially about how to generate them so this was very experimental and I still do not know if the outcome has any meaning or if it this was just a lovely waste of time. I started with creating a system how to classi...
